Friday Fives - Five Books Set in Fall on My TBR


I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. There are so many books coming out this month that are Christmas themed that I'm taking a little time to focus on fall books.


1.  The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware - I DNF'd this book right after it came out but I love this author and really should give it another try - especially during spooky season.


2.  A Dream of Death by Connie Berry - This is the first book in one of my favorite series that somehow I haven't read.  It takes place in fall in Scotland.


3.  The Dutch House by Ann Patchett - This takes place around Thanksgiving and has been on my TBR for ages.


4.  Fixing to Die by Miranda James - Fall in Mississippi with a quirky cast of characters is always a recipe for a good time!


5.  It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas - This is a reread and really not the most Fall themed book despite the title, but it is a lot of fun and it's been awhile since I've read it.

What are some of your favorite books that are set during fall?

  1. I'm sure I've read books set in fall but none come to mind. I think the only time I read seasonally is the time from Thanksgiving to Christmas. I haven't read a Kleypas in a while but the one you mention sounds good!

  3. I've read the Ruth Ware book you mentioned and had to look back to see when that was. 2018, apparently. Don't really remember much about it, but I did say in my review that it had a Gothic feel and a bit of a 'Rebecca' vibe. I do like Ruth Ware's books, some more than others of course. Have not read any of the others. I think fall is always Gothic season for me - spooky, ghosts, winds, etc. Enjoy!

  4. I too, love Ruth Ware. Maybe try the audio version.

  5. I'm also a fan of Ruth Ware but I haven't read that one. I change format when I get confused or it's not working, or use 2 formats at the same time, read and listen.

  7. And the Lisa Kleypas book has very autumn colours. Hope you get to read most/some of them. I did look at The Dutch House but felt wasn't for me. Have heard its good on audio.
